Sourced from Kumesen Distillery, this was distilled, matured in bourbon casks, and bottled in Okinawa. Sweet exotic spices greet the nose, with lime and grapefruit acidity, white pepper, and shimeji mushrooms. It’s clean and light, with sugary sweet Smarties Double Lollies, satsuma, lemon zest, dried apricot, and a few savory notes. As the sweetness fades, there’s fruit Life Savers, lemon, baked citrus, and dried fruits coming through on the finish. - Winter 2022

Country: Japan

All over Japan, farmers and wine producers take the production of alcoholic beverages including plum wine and sake very seriously. It is an industry which dates back well over a thousand years, and is held in high esteem in this far east country, where plum wines and sake often accompany meals and are used for ceremonial purposes. Whilst plum wine is produced in a relatively similar way to grape based wines, sake requires a complex process more akin to the brewing of beer, except using a rice mash instead of other grains. The rising popularity of both of these drinks in the west has seen the drinks industry in Japan increase dramatically over recent years, and both quality and quantity has risen alongside demand, and is expected to rise further.
